The si_celi depletion function has been removed. The
SI-CELI method can be implemented with
>>> from openmc.deplete import SI_CELI_Integrator
>>> SI_CELI_Integrator(op, dt, power, stages).integrate()
The stages parameter is optional, and defaults to 10 to
be consistent with the previous default for si_celi.
The SI_CELI_Integrator inherits from the new abstract base class
SI_Integrator. There are a few differences in how the SI-based
methods perform the integration.
- The initial, t=0.0, i=0, no restart transport solution is scaled
by the number of stages.
- The SI methods also do not perform a new transport solution at
each successive iteration [t>0, i>0]. Instead, the reaction
rates are pulled from the last stage of the previous step.
- There is no final transport solution once all the depletion
steps have been taken. The final reaction rates are saved as
those from the last stage of the last depletion step.
The si_celi function has been removed from documentation and testing,
and replaced with the SI_CELI_Integrator.
The function openmc.deplete.epc_rk4 has been removed
in favor of openmc.deplete.EPC_RK4_Integrator. The scheme
can be used with::
>>> from openmc.deplete import EPC_RK4_Integrator
>>> EPC_RK4_Integrator(op, dt, power).integrate()
epc_rk4 has been removed from the documentation, and the
EPC_RK4_Integrator class has been added to the depletion
API documentation
The function openmc.deplete.cf4 has been removed in favor
of openmc.deplete.CF4Integrator. The CF4 integration scheme
can be peformed with
>>> from openmc.deplete import CF4Integrator
>>> CF4Integrator(operator, time, power).integrate()
The depletion functions openmc.deplete.celi and
openmc.deplete.leqi hvae been removed in favor of a class-based
approach. The following syntax will replicate the behavior
of the integration schemes:
>>> from openmc.deplete import CELIIntegrator
>>> celi = CELIIntegrator(operator, time, power)
>>> celi.integrate()
The expression can be reduced to a single line:
>>> LEQIIntegrator(operator, time, power).integrate()
The depletion function openmc.deplete.predictor has been removed
in favor of a class-based approach. The following syntax will
replicate the behavior of the predictor integration scheme:
>>> from openmc.deplete import PredictorIntegrator
>>> predictor = PredictorIntegrator(operator, time, power)
>>> predictor.integrate()`
The expression can be reduced to a single line:
>>> PredictorIntegrator(operator, time, power).integrate()
The cecm function has been removed from the python api.
In order to use the cecm integration scheme,
the following class based approach is now expected:
>>> from openmc.deplete import CECMIntegrator
>>> cecm = CECMIntegrator(operator, timesteps, power)
>>> cecm.integrate()
if the integrator is not needed, this above expression can be
one-lined with
>>> CECMIntegrator(operator, timesteps, power).integrate()
Unit tests have been updated to no longer use the cecm function,
and cecm has been removed from documentation.
The CECMIntegrator has been added to documentation.
